Abstract: To investigate the in vitro release, in vivo pharmacokinetics, and the in vitro-in vivo correlation of progesterone suspension injection, self-made progesterone suspension injection was taken as an example. The in vitro release curves of three different particle sizes of progesterone suspension injections were measured using paddle method and dialysis bag method. The in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics of self-made progesterone suspension injection was studied on SD rats. The plasma concentration of self-made progesterone preparation was detected after intramuscular injection, and correlated with the in vitro release profiles obtained by the dialysis bag method after processing by Wagner-Nelson method. The results showed that when the in vitro release of three different particle sizes of progesterone suspension injections was measured by the paddle method, more than 85% was rapidly released within 20 min, while 85% cumulative release was reached at 40 h, 84 h and 120 h by dialysis bag method, respectively. The release rate obtained by the dialysis bag method was basically consistent with the in vivo release trend, with a correlation coefficient of >0.95, indicating a strong in vivo and in vitro correlation. This study provides some reference for the establishment of the in vitro and in vivo correlation of long-acting suspension injection.

Objective:To evaluate the association between septic shock and tracheal injury in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients with invasive ventilation.Methods:This was a prospective single-centre cohort study. Patients who underwent invasive mechanical ventilation at the Department of Anesthesia Critical Care Medicine of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from May 31, 2020 to March 5, 2022 were selected. The general characteristics of patients, reasons for ICU admission, vital signs, laboratory test results, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ scores, Charlson Comorbidity Index, size of endotracheal tube, presence or absence of septic shock, oxygenation index, duration of intubation, consumption of norepinephrine and epinephrine, and tracheal injury scores at the time of extubation were recorded. Univariate linear regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for tracheal injury, followed by adjustment using multivariate linear regression analysis.Results:Ninety-seven patients were ultimately included, and the average age was (56.6±16.5) yr, with 64.9% being male. The results of adjusted linear regression showed that septic shock was associated with tracheal injury scores ( β=2.99, 95% confidence interval 0.70-5.29). Subgroup analysis revealed a stronger correlation with a duration of intubation≥8 days ( P=0.013). Conclusions:Patients with septic shock exhibit significantly higher tracheal injury scores compared with those without septic shock, suggesting that septic shock may serve as an independent risk factor for tracheal injury.

Depression is a mental disorder with high morbidity, disability and relapse rates. Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE), a traditional Chinese medicine, has a long history of clinical application in the treatment of cerebral and mental disorders, but the key mechanism remains incompletely understood. Here we showed that GEB exerted anti-depressant effect in mice through regulating gut microbial metabolism. GBE protected against unpredictable mild stress (UMS)-induced despair, anxiety-like and social avoidance behavior in mice without sufficient brain distribution. Fecal microbiome transplantation transmitted, while antibiotic cocktail abrogated the protective effect of GBE. Spatiotemporal bacterial profiling and metabolomics assay revealed a potential involvement of Parasutterella excrementihominis and the bile acid metabolite ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in the effect of GBE. UDCA administration induced depression-like behavior in mice. Together, these findings suggest that GBE acts on gut microbiome-modulated bile acid metabolism to alleviate stress-induced depression.

Objective To develop an intelligent management system of documents and records that meets the requirements of ISO 15189 quality management system applied to regional medical laboratory center.Methods Based on the relevant terms of ISO 15189 document and record,an intelligent management system for laboratory documents and records with B/S architecture was established by the help of computer technology.Results The document and record management system stored the quality system documents required for ISO 15189 review as well as the external documents,such as laboratory-related laws and regulations,standard guidelines and expert consensus,which can be accessed by users through a computer or mobile phone.The multi-process control mode was adopted to author-ize the special personnel to complete the compiling,review,approval and,release of the files according to the type and attribute of the documents.The management system of records established 9 special records,319 form records and 20 process records to support the ef-fective operation of the quality system.Conclusion The established intelligent management system for documents and records has fully met the requirements of ISO 15189 on documents and records management,realized the sharing and interconnection of the documents in the given region.It is convenient for the employees to consult the documents and fill in the records in a timely and efficient manner.

The physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling strategy was adopted to predict the pharmacokinetic behavior of crystal forms I and II of rifampicin in humans, which was used to determine whether the two were bioequivalent.After conducting studies in vitro of the two crystal forms, a rat PBPK model was established based on the pharmacokinetic data of intravenous administration in rats.The model was optimized by the pharmacokinetic data of oral administration in rats.Species were extrapolated to healthy humans, and the extrapolation model was used to predict such pharmacokinetic behaviors as the drug-time curve, absorption site, and absorption amount of the two crystal forms of rifampicin in healthy humans.The prediction results of the healthy human model showed that the cmax of form I and form II rifampicin were 8.42 and 10.35 μg/mL, tmax were 0.40 and 0.32 h,and AUC0-t were both 62.90 μg·h/mL.According to the prediction results of absorption, neither crystal form I nor crystal form II rifampicin was absorbed in the stomach, yet both were completely absorbed in the intestinal tract, with both the absorption site and the absorption amount were basically the same.The pharmacokinetic parameters of both crystal forms I and II of rifampicin were very close, which could indicate bioequivalence.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the cause of inconsistent genotypes for an α-thalassemia carrier by using two commercial genotyping kits. METHODS: GAP-PCR and PCR-reverse dot blotting (PCR-RDB) were employed to determine the genotype of the carrier, while Sanger sequencing was used to verify the results. RESULTS: Sequencing analysis demonstrated that the subject has carried a α1 globin gene with a 3.7 kb heterozygous deletion. In addition, two novel mutations, IVS-II-55(T>G) and IVS-II-119(G>TCGGCCC), were found in intron 2 of α2 globin gene. CONCLUSION The two mutations located in the binding regions of PCR primers have caused failure of PCR amplification and misreading of the genotype. Combination of clinical and hematological phenotypes is indispensible to infer the genotype of carriers for accurate diagnosis.

Objective To design and develop intelligent rehabilitation equipment for administering continuous passive motion (CPM) of a rabbit's knee joint after tibial plateau fracture.Methods The equipment constructed had three main parts:the core machinery,electronic control and a control program designed based on bionics principles.Twenty six-month-old New Zealand White male rabbits were randomly divided into sedentary (SED) and CPM groups after their knees had been fractured.The rabbits in the CPM group were given 30 min of early joint rehabilitation once a day for 4 weeks using the CPM equipment,while those in the SED group were kept in their cages and allowed free activity without any special exercise program.The body weight,range of motion and swelling of the affected knee joint were measured before the fracture and on the 3rd,7th,14th,21st and 28th days after the fracture.On the 28th day after the fracture the pathological structure of the articular cartilage on the operative side was observed under a light microscope.Results The equipment ran safely and reliably,and drove the rabbits to move synchronously.It could accurately and conveniently adjust the knee flexion angle,movement speed and movement time.The intelligence of the equipment met the experimental requirements.On the 3rd day after the operation the average range of motion in the joints of both groups had changed significantly compared to that before the fracture.On the 28th day after the fracture the average degree of swelling and range of motion in the CPM group were significantly different from those of the SED group.On the 28th day,deformity and the smoothness of the fracture line in the CPM group were superior to those in the SED group.Moreover,the dominant tissues in the defect area of the CPM group were mainly hyaline cartilage while those in the SED group were mainly repair fibrocartilage.The defect area and its adjacent articular cartilages,chondrocyte regeneration and arrangement,layers of cells and subchondral tidal line recovery of the CPM group were better than in the SED group on average.Conclusion The equipment for knee joint manipulation is convenient to use,reliable and effective for the early rehabilitation of tibial plateau fracture,at least in rabbits.It promotes remodeling of the fracture and cartilage repair after tibial plateau fracture,and also improves range of motion in the knee and reduces swelling.
